Beginning of Christmas Season

Well, the Christmas season is finally here. Most towns around Kansas decorate for Christmas on Thanksgiving weekend. We started our holiday adventures by visiting Santa Clause in Norton on November 26. We did miss the cookies and sleigh ride, but dinner at McDonald's was fun too. :) Our son forgot to tell Santa one thing he really wants for Christmas, so I guess he'll have to write a letter. Our daughter told Santa what she wants, but her picture came out fuzzy.

We did not make it to the Christmas Tree lighting at WaKeeney. We were not in WaKeeney that day and the weather forecast was for too much wind for us to drive that way. We did get to see the beautiful lights later, but missed the official lighting by Santa Clause. If you happen to be driving by WaKeeney any time this month, drive downtown to see the lights. It is the Christmas City of the High Plains.
